GameCube/GBA era was the last time they made great games with any consistency. Every single series had a significantly worse game for Wii/DS, yet the Wii sold way better and all the IGN reviews were great. 10/10 for Skyward Sword.

I'm sorry, I disgaree firmly, there's tons of great first party games on both the Wii and the DS.

That's alright. Smash Bros, Zelda, Mario Sunshine/Galaxy, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Paper Mario, those are the big ones where I was disappointed in the Wii sequels. And the motion controls were overall a downgrade, which it seems even Nintendo admitted. Do you prefer the Wii ones, or are you just saying they were still great?

There are also people who say Nintendo lost their way with the GameCube and that the N64 was the real deal. Well, I can see that with Zelda at least. I was a kid at the time and went back to play Ocarina.

		I'm saying mario galaxy is generally just as well regarded as sunshine and 64, I grew up on sunshine, its obviously my favourite but galaxy takes the second place over 64 for sure. we also had metroid prime 3. MKDS was the best portable mario kart at the time, MK Wii was also a great game even if it didn't have the same kinds of advanced techs (which casual gamers don't even care or know about), paper mario is almost impossible to compare since it changed so much from ttyd but also an quality game. none of those to me signal the loss in quality like we saw with all the "new super mario/luigi" rehashing that we saw during the wii u and 3ds era.
